NY Times: Stop Grading to a Curve

An excellent article by Adam Grant, professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania:

atmosphere that’s toxic by pitting students against one another. At
best, it creates a hypercompetitive culture, and at worst, it sends
students the message that the world is a zero-sum game: Your success
means my failure.
